• A balanced and diverse representation of faculty that is reflective of our ATS membership ensures a broad range of perspectives are heard during the conference sessions.
  
  The International Conference Committee is committed to diversity and inclusion at all levels within the conference program, across race, ethnicity, age, geography, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, ability, economic status, career stage (early, mid, senior), and other diverse backgrounds.
  
  Fostering a more inclusive environment enriches the conference experience for all attendees.
• ATS does not offer any financial support for facilitators/moderators to attend the ATS Conference. If selected, facilitators/moderators are responsible for their travel, accommodation, and registration expenses to participate in the conference.
